Congratulations, I was trying to come up with a Saiyan name for GTR, and this just struck me to my very core (okay, maybe not, but it's still pretty good), so I'm gonna swipe this one.

I made a quite a long list of various vegetables to base Saiyan names off of.. I also used name plays on veggies already taken, such as carrot and potato - but rearranged or spelled in a different way than Totapo and Kakarotto:
Popotat
Gaarot

Would the Nipponized word for fruit be "furutu"?

It's "furutsu". That is where they got "tsufuru", by simply rearranging.

I'm kinda lucky this thread popped up, since I need some help with coming up with another pun. I need a good male name that's a SALT-based pun. The race's name is Sodian (From "sodium," obviously), and the two female characters I've already come up with are Chlori ("Chlorine") and Shio (Japanese for "salt").

Any ideas? I need a good name for GTR Chapter 11, so the quicker I can come up with something, the sooner I can release it.

Soru?

(from romanized Salt: so-ru-to)

Why, I'm honoured, good sir.

... Would it be too much to ask to give me credit for the name when it appears?

Well I believe salt is very limited for, as actual terms for it but there are a few other words and things that are related to its composition that are related to it. You have:

Rock salt

Table salt (no I am not talking about Vegeta’s little brother, that is why the “r” in Tarble is so important

)

Sea salt

White

Preservative

Fleur de sel ("Flower of salt" in French)

Halite

Potassium

Just for some pun to use for something relating to the Tsufuruans - what is the Japanese word for fruit?

水菓子
mizugashi

I think.

NJ Star shows some other translations, kinomi or konomi.
And Google Translate comes up with... Kaputsu, Kudamono?

I don't know... I want to speak Japanese, Help me Rosetta Stone!

Kudamono.

Some cheap Japanese translating site gave me Pittsua for Pizza (Since I don't have the language pack apparantly and can only see the boxes, I have to use cheap sites like that)

So, for my username.
Pitzu - Pittsua - Pizza

Sago - its the starch extracted from palm tress. It's also the name of my grandfather. I plan to use the name for one of my characters in my fanmanga.

Here are a bunch of stuff I can think of (mostly stuff I use when I cook)

Eggplant
Dates - are the fruit of the date palm
Plantain
Mango
Musa - also bananas
Beats
